The solution to this problem is to add a translation layer from the tree structure to plain text. If you can do that you can work on any arbitrary data structure easily. I'll leave it up to the reader how to figure out how to do it ;)

For anyone interested in this issue I would suggest taking a look a Neil Fraser's Differential Synchronization.[0] It took me 2 weeks as a solo developer to add real time collaborative editing to our product using that method. [0]: ht

Multiple players along the chain could decide to vertically integrate. Although I used the example of high frequency traders, a better question which I should have asked is why hasn't someone dipped their toes into retail and HFT? It

Hmm, I'm assuming this is illegal (otherwise someone would likely be doing it) but why doesn't a high frequency trading firm make a competing application and just keep that order flow for themselves? Why not vertically integrate?

The housing does exist it just lays vacant due to rent control. Look at the data after any repeal of rent control in cities like Cambridge, Oslo and New York, prices do not go up dramatically. By removing rent control, you get rid of the

There is a similar case (Bucklew v. Precythe) that will be tried before the supreme court this year.[0] In that case the plaintiff claims that his eighth amendment rights would be violated if he were to be lethally injected, as it may cause

So I took the time to read through the entire complaint and I hope she settled. I wouldn't characterize this lawsuit as frivolous, but a lot of what is put forward is extremely flimsy. For example, it is perfectly fine to criticize som

The common use cases for firebase can be easily reproduced with Phoenix. Phoenix also comes with a handy presence feature that allows you to track whether someone is currently using the product. (Think which present users in a chat room) I

If you need to build a product that relies heavily on real time updates, I would look into using Elixir and Phoenix.[0] They nailed the channel abstraction which is the main entry point for realtime communication over websockets. It takes m

I don't think you understand the difference between civil and criminal law. Almost all sexual harassment cases are going to be civil cases, where the only recompense a defendant can expect is monetary. No one is going to jail over a ty

I generally agree with everything you've said except for the act of settling a sex discrimination lawsuit being a negative signal. The existence of a sex discrimination lawsuit is certainly not a positive signal for any prospective e

"Within 30 years... it will be as important as the radio and TV was in shaping society both commercially and privately" Care to make your prediction interesting? I'd be willing to take the opposite side of that bet.

The counterfactual to your argument is just as appalling, "You don't deserve to live here because you aren't from here". You had to be born somewhere, and some of us had the misfortune of being born in a place where they

I know it's counterintuitive to most people, but price controls only cause shortages. Rent control is fundamentally an unfair policy as it selectively benefits one class of people (long term renters) over everyone else. In conditions w

That's exactly what the paradox states. Seeing one boy does affect the gender of the second child.
